My car smells like ski wax?
Wierd question,
I have a 2000 A4 1.8T, no engine mods, 13550 miles. Recently the weather has been a bit warmer and everytime I drive the car it smells like burning ski wax. Like when you melt wax with an iron. I have snow tires on it, but I can't imagine they are smelly. I have been driving normal (ie not at all aggressive).
The car is running fine, I just wondered if anyone else has this wierd problem or if anyone has any suggestion about what to do to attempt to stop this...
Thanks in advance....

Re: My car smells like ski wax?
Audi dips their chassis in wax as a rust-proofing measure. Perhaps this is the source - although I would have thought that you would have smelt it long before now
